I hope everyone is noting that Tim's belts were about 20 years old.
Yet more evidence that replacement every six years is unnecessary.
Tim; what were the tensioner and idler pulley bearings like on your car? Mine were rather rough (at just 2,000 miles more than yours) posing a greater risk of failure than the belts themselves.
